Oh, OnTrac. They are fast. Did you receive it yet? They always get my stuff from Reno to the Bay Area overnight. They should be ably to get yours from Reno to Spokane overnight too.

Yes, I got it around 4:00. Surprising, since the closest facility is apparently on the other side of the state in Seattle. I was a bit worried about it, as I've never used OnTrac before and there are a lot of negative comments about it on the web. The delivery guy was in a real rush. He said "here!", shoved the package into my hands, and ran back to the truck. I guess that's why they're fast. :)

Now I have another one to obsess over.

Another reason I hate tracking packages: It just said that my package was delivered. I looked around outside, checked my mailbox, looked in front of the neighbors' doors, and asked my landlord. Nothing. After ten minutes of panicking, the mailman rang my doorbell with the package. :x

Well this one will be on FedEx vehicle for delivery for the next two days. On schedule, though.

A fedex delivery guy just called me to ascertain my address, as someone in my family wrote it wrong on a package. H was next door, so it was easy, and I thought it was pretty considerate of him to take the time to find the right address, instead of sending the box back.

Here's the tracking on some recent things I ordered.

Network disruption due to weather conditions in Phoenix? :scratch: Is the weather too hot and sunny for them? :lol:

:lol: ha - that is what I thought too. I guess they meant 'somewhere along the route'. Or is an excuse. (?) An interesting thing I noticed is that although I paid an extra amount for faster shipping, on the tracking it says shipped by ground UPS. Maybe I've been deluded in thinking that paying extra means UPS 2 day delivery. I think I need to go back and see exactly how amazon phrases the shipping fees.

This has to be one of the craziest routing jobs I have ever seen the USPS do. What was supposed to be a simple two day first-class package delivery turned into nine day journey when they routed it through a couple of extra states. Including sending it up north were it probably was delayed by bad weather. What were they thinking?:scratch:

I wouldn't say I love tracking packages, but I am OCD enough to find it impossible not to. :lol:
